Characterization of Deep-Marine Clastic Sediments from Foreland Basins: Outcrop-Derived Concepts for Exploration, Production and Reservoir Modelling (Karakterizering van Diep-Mariene Klastische Sedimenten uit Voorland Bekkens: Aan Ontsluitingen Ontleende

摘要

Deep-marine clastic sediments are the host for many prolific hydrocarbonreservoirs. The sandbodies that form these reservoirs show a wide variety in shape, spatial arrangement, and internal structure. The outcrops studied for this thesis pertain to the fill of circum-mediterranean foreland basins in Spain and Greece. The outcrops have allowed the description of the multiscale anatomy of sandbodies that cover a wide range of depositional settings. The descriptions are focused on those features that are most likely to influence the flow of fluids through analogous reservoirs of similar construction. Extensive use was made of photomosaics to outline the large-scale geometries and stacking modes of the sandbodies. The sediments studied form the basis for seven 'reservoir models' that are both descriptive and conceptual.
